Thanksgiving @ Lo Debar Cont... 11:00



Sermon Title: Thanksgiving @ Lo Debar
Sermon Text: 2 Samuel 9: 13 And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table, and he was crippled in both feet. 
Point 1: Learn How To… be left @ Lo Debar vs. 2 Samuel 4: 4 (Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled but as she hurried to leave, he fell and became crippled, His name was Mephibosheth.)
In the text 2 Samuel 9: 1 – 13 you don’t understand what happen to Mephibosheth until you read 2 Samuel 4: 4. There we find the story of how Mephibosheth learned how to be left.
Point 2: Learn How To…@ Lo Debar vs. 6 When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor.
The text tells us David inquired who could he bless from his long time friend Jonathan house. Mephibosheth was the answer. So when Mephibosheth showed up he bowed down. I am perplexed how does a crippled man bow? The only thing I can think of is he learned how to live in Lo Debar.
Point 3: Lear How To…@ Lo Debar vs. 13 And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the kings table. And he was crippled in both feet.
When it was time for Mephibosheth to relocate he never hesitated. You may say neither would I, but you would be surprised at how many people get so accustom to Lo Debar that can’t see themselves any where else.
